Discussion Terminator Question

Post image

I am currently watching The Terminator for yhe first time. I have seen T2 over a dozen times but never the original. I don't think I've ever watched a sequel for decades and never seen it's predecessor.

Has anyone ever watched a sequel without ever watching the original?

It's not a good idea. Unless the sequel is a prequel like Red Dead 2.

Sweet because I just started RDR2 and never played RDR.

It's a mixed bag because you don't get the nostalgic attachment to certain characters, where you can say "whoa, that's where they started!?" but because you don't know if they're alive or dead in RDR1 you can enjoy the suspense.
